This Off-Road Alfa Romeo Concept Was Designed for the Dunes

To my knowledge, Alfa Romeo has never built an SUV designed specifically for off-roading. They’ve had a number of rally cars, sure, but one could only imagine a 4x4 wearing the Alfa badge and trekking through the dirt and mud. Until now…
This is a look at an Alfa off-roader of the future. It was created by artist John Frye stemming from a simple sketch on an envelope— he calls it "Air Alfa," for obvious reasons. The concept mixes some cues from the Rally Fighter with a trophy truck, all coming together under a signature Alfa Romeo design language.

We spoke to John to get a better idea of exactly how this amazing concept came to life:
"The illustration was done for a design challenge website called Agora-Pode. Each month, designers are challenged to illustrate a concept based on a combination of three terms selected at random. The most recent challenge is Alfa Romeo + Off-Road + I, Robot."
"I combined the first two elements rather obviously. For the I,Robot movie design reference, I used the biomechanical muscle details from the robot's joints as the basis for an active control suspension chassis.”

It’s definitely something we could see taking on the world of I, Robot. Or more appropriately, something we’d want to be behind the wheel of.
